The NFL released the full schedule for the 2019 season and we take a deeper look at what's upcoming for the Saints this season.
Also why LSU's new AD should scare everyone else in the SEC west
Tennessee coach Rick Barnes delivered a refreshingly honest press conference yesterday where he admitted that if UCLA was willing to pay his large buyout he would have taken that job. But fan reaction says maybe sometimes honesty isn't the best policy.
Also the 3rd assistant proposal in college baseball is going to be shot down by the biggest money makers, which doesn't make much sense.
Blowing a 31 point lead is always a bad thing, but did the Warriors loss to the Clippers last night expose something more than just a bad night?

Tiger Woods made history and won the Masters for the first time since 2005, and after came one of the great moments in sports history. LSU is daring the NCAA to come after them after reinstating Will Wade. And Game of Thrones came back last night
(After a quick look at the first round of the Masters) We discuss the changing landscape in college football, specifically how there's more revenue and exposure coming into the "small" power-five programs than ever before. But there's also no denying that Tennessee was once a far better job than Ole Miss/MSU, but is it anymore?
"Athlete had controversial old tweets" is a common story in sports media, but this week was different. Nick Bosa used to use his social media platforms to voice political opinions that are being called controversial, but if we're going to encourage athletes to be engaging, we need to support all sides.
Also Masters and NBA playoff picks
Last night's NCAA Tournament Championship, which ended up being one hell of a game, wasn't without controversy... Specifically a replay review (while technically correctly decided) is under scrutiny after Texas Tech lost possession down two with just over a minute left in OT.
Should we use zoomed in, multi-angle, slo-mo replay in sports? That's being questioned today. But I have a solution that just may make everyone happy...
After a quick Masters week introduction, we look at the main things that can be taken away from Ole Miss' spring game on Saturday.
Days before playing in the Final Four, a Virginia basketball player made headlines for having a wedding registry that he was forced to take down. Although that was an overzealous move by UVA Compliance, did they inadvertently expose a perfect NCAA violation scheme?

Recent reports say that Seahawks QB Russell Wilson gave a "deadline" demand for a new contract. If that deadline isn't met, is he off to free agency? The Giants better hope so.

Duke, with the most explosive player in recent college basketball history, was bounced in the Elite8 of the NCAA tournament. With the way that game ended, is it time to look at Coach K differently? Especially when John Calipari gets the "overrated" label with a similar recent history of success.
On today's show... Tennessee should be preparing for the Elite8 right now, but a horrendous call blew that chance - Buzz Williams is making the right call playing Ty Outlaw despite marijuana charge - The Cardinals are shopping Josh Rosen

Plus, Sean Payton gets his way and NCAA Tournament ratings are WAY up
Michael Avenatti, a lawyer famous for trying to help a porn star sue the President of the United States, was arrested for trying to extort Nike for millions over information he claimed to have involving dirty recruiting. Should the NCAA use this information if it ends up coming out?
Also, the NFL will actually change some rules in order to prevent a repeat of last year's NFC Championship

Also, the NCAA tournament committee looking at Zion's injury before seeding Duke is the right call and Arkansas football has taken early scholarship offers too far.
In Friday morning's podcast, I looked at Yahoo's Will Wade story and praised LSU for riding with him through the end of this season. As it turns out, that podcast didnt age well and LSU has suspended him indefinitely. That was a mistake.
LSU head basketball coach Will Wade was allegedly caught on tape discussing "offers" that were made to recruits, according to a Thursday report by Yahoo. But should this cause LSU to fire him? No, they should not. Not right now, anyway. No matter what the moral high horse riding columns say.
Most every ranking and list from college football media still puts Nick Saban over Dabo Swinney, but is that the right move anymore?

After a quick recap of Mississippi State and Ole Miss hoops from Tuesday night - We look at the sentencing of two people involved in the college hoops FBI scandal, and how their attorney is planning to get “as many college coaches as possible” on the stand and said “we are going to pull the curtain back” on college basketball.

A pro-confederate rally happened in Oxford, Mississippi on Saturday. a group called Confederate 901 gathered on the Square and on campus with flags and signs, chanting and singing pro-confederate songs. In response, a few Ole Miss basketball players took a knee during the national anthem, to show that that kind of rally isn't supported by them or the school they attend. Today's show will digest the event, and explain why what the players did took courage even if you disagree with the method
